Grandparenting Events
Where Grandparents gather, connect and create connection
PEPS recognizes the vital role of grandparents in their children’s and grandchildren’s lives and offers opportunities for grandparents to come together for support, shared information, and learning.
Grandparent Happy Hours, Brown Bag Lunches & More
Celebrate being a grandparent and connect with other involved and curious grandparents like you at our events for Grandparents. PEPS for Grandparent Events are an opportunity to mingle with other grandparents and have a discussion, guided by an expert facilitator, on a topic relevant to grandparents.

Grandparent Brown Bag Lunch

Location: PEPS South Seattle, 2200 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144
Topic*: Books as mirrors and windows
Join us in a stimulating and practical conversation about using children's literature first to provide mirrors and windows to the world and second as an opportunity to engage children in courageous conversations about potentially challenging topics. We will look at children's books for all ages, learn how to use children's books as a provocation for conversations as well as how to instill a love and joy for reading. We will share some of our favorite children's books growing up and why they were so memorable.
